As the NCAA Tournament rolled on to the regional rounds, two more players joined the 1,000 kill club, moving the ranks to 149 members.
- Kaz Brown, Kentucky vs. BYU, 12/8 (ends career with 1,015)
- Khalia Lanier, USC at Florida, 12/9 (now has 1,002)
According to the NCAA’s active career leaders database, Lanier is just the first active sophomore to reach 1,000 career kills.
5️⃣0️⃣0️⃣! @khalia_lanier's 15th kill tonight gave her 500 this season. She is the 6th Trojan to score at least that many in a single season and joins @SamyBricio, Kaczor, @JenniferKessy, Jupiter, and @BibiCandelas! #FightOn #NCAAVB ✌???
